WORLD EVENT

* If It Slithers, Kill It: Not actually a guild quest.
* Removed the quest ‘Divulging the Deep’, which was being incorrectly offered.
* Dire Threat, Grave Consequences: You may now get credit for defeating the targets of these quests without having to be the one to use the summon object.
* Audio: Added awesome ambient stormy noise throughout the event

Introducing RIFT Community Events!

Playing Rift is only part of the fun! We also have a lively, active community outside of the game! Many of you spend time reading the forums and social networks on a regular basis and we are introducing some new features and events to add to the fun! We have some new in game titles and items to distribute and you can only get them from participation in Rift community events. Watch the News & Announcements section and our Facebook & Twitter pages for upcoming contests.

CHARACTER TRANSFERS * Instance lockouts are now transferred with characters. However, two players that were previously grouped for an incomplete instance will not be able to continue it once they have moved, as each character will receive their own copy of the instance.

GENERAL * Fixed the main map appearing all black when zoomed out on certain hardware. * Warfronts: Allow mixed Warfronts to start with solos, duos, and premade groups after a number of non-premade matches are started. This should help with the extra long wait times for premade groups on some shards.

ZONES * Beefed up the NPC support of the Freemarch and Silverwood zone events.

MATHOSIA * Weakened Ward: Now drops quest items for all members of a group.

When you play Rift you have to select your three souls. They become the base for all of the abilities your character has. You have one main soul and then two secondary souls which are just used for starter abilities in most cases. I am going to talk about strictly the Mage souls in this Rift Mage builds guide.

• The opening of Hammerknell draws near; the forces of Water and Death stand to unleash their power on Telara while the Ascended rush to contain Akylios and his cult.
• Character Transfers are now open - see below for details on moving your character or guild!
• Quantum Sight and Omen Sight now allow Ascended to see all new Artifacts for all new collections!
• A variety of new costume armor can be found in Iron Pine Peaks, Stillmoor, and Shimmersand.

You can view the entire patch notes on our Wiki here.

Enjoy!

The ancient halls of stone stir and ancient evils once again threaten all the lands of Telara. The ocean swells with the coming abyss as the raw elemental powers of Death and Water prepare to use the world as their battleground and destroy the Ward in their wake. It falls to you, Ascended, to fight back these timeless foes and rid the world of their plague forever! Join us tomorrow, June 2nd at 3:00PM PDT for a special test of the next World Event! This epic invasion is the first of many features to come with RIFT Update 1.3 and your help in preparing it for world-wide release will benefit everyone upon its release.
